Bay County Health Officer Joel Strasz said the salon has been cooperating fully with contact tracing and efforts to identify anyone who may have been exposed to the stylist.

“They (the Great American Man Cave) have stepped up and their concern for the community and their clients is truly appreciated,” he said.
